That was hardly the question you asked. Why would anyone think that would be the case if you're mentioning it in the context of the humanist society - can't imagine they're all that bothered about the interests of the Church of England. Shall we start again? Or not bother. Yes. Lets do that one.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Relieve the monarch of one of the duties: EITHER as Head of the Church of England, OR as Head of State.

As the second option would be an act of treason I suggest his hands would be tied somewhat, why don't we turn it on its head, petition HMQ to relieve the PM of his duties, lets see which gets more signatures.

No, I'm in agreement here. What we need is Gordon Brown or Tony Blair as 'Life President'. I do believe that Tone reckons he should be head of state, head of the EU and the boss of the church (yes, all the churches).

I'm sure that would be preferable, and far better for the wealth it would bring in to this cou . . . . . oh, bugger, that's not going to work is it!?
